Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.

The key to praying with power is to become the kind of persons who do not use God for our ends but are utterly devoted to being used for His ends.
John Piper
Image
Whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
John Piper
Image
Feeling loved by God means feeling glad not only that He crushed His Son so that I can be forgiven, but that He's crushing everything that takes away from my praising of the glory of His grace.
